Clearing an office in Downtown Milwaukee
Downtown Milwaukee's office core runs along Wisconsin Avenue and Water Street from the Milwaukee River east to Lake Michigan in East Town, with Westown and the Deer District across the river to the west, bounded roughly by I-794 and McKinley Avenue. Insurance and financial companies, banks, law and accounting firms, engineering firms, healthcare and government offices are the main tenants.
The stock includes high-rise towers such as the U.S. Bank Center at 777 E. Wisconsin Ave. and the Northwestern Mutual Tower, plus older masonry high-rises and converted historic buildings. Towers load through booked docks with freight elevators and insurance certificates, while older buildings may have small elevators and alley or street loading.

Planning a Downtown Milwaukee move-out
What experienced facilities teams account for in this district before the first desk comes apart.
- Reserve the dock and freight elevator through building management early, and plan for evening or weekend moves in occupied towers.
- Keep trucks and carts clear of The Hop streetcar tracks on Broadway, Milwaukee Street and the lakefront line when staging near a building.
- Check the Fiserv Forum and Deer District calendars before scheduling Westown moves, because Bucks games and concerts fill nearby streets and garages.
- Send TVs, computers, monitors and printers to a recycler, since Wisconsin law bans those devices from landfills and incinerators.
- Build lake-effect snow and cold into winter schedules, and confirm who clears the alley or dock after a storm.
